Mini Strawberry Muffins

Strawberry Muffins

Muffins are great. But you know what’s even better? Strawberry Muffins!

Muffins and berries go together like summertime and the beach. The most classic combination is, of course, blueberry muffins. But strawberry has got to be my favorite. Sometimes it’s tricky to find strawberries that are good, but luckily, you don’t only have to rely on the berries for that fruity flavor.

Chef Shamy Strawberry Honey Butter (which is made from strawberry juice) provides the other half of the fruitiness here. It gives the muffins a soft texture and a perfectly balanced flavor.

Mini Muffins

Making muffins mini is so much fun! I love eating smaller muffins for a couple reasons:

1. I can eat like 20 and not feel bad.
2. Mini Muffins are easy to store and grab on the go. I don’t know how many mornings I’m looking for something small and manageable to take out the door.
3.  Reason #1 again.

Enjoy!
